Wallguard.com’s rubber extrusions are coated with a white chalky residue known as soapstone, which is used as an anti-sticking agent in the curing and transportation of the products. Due to the industrial applications of these products, many users elect to simply leave the bumpers as is. If a more finished appearance is desired, the following instructions may be used:
Bumpers may be cleaned with an all-purpose spray cleaner such as Simple Green® or Formula 409®. Products such as Armorall® and similar rubber cleaning products provide excellent cleaning and enhanced “sheen” providing bumpers with a clean, uniform appearance.
After initial cleaning of bumpers to remove soapstone, no additional routine maintenance is required. Bumpers may be cleaned on an “as needed” basis as project and conditions warrant.
